July 8th, 2010 Ceilidh

Posted by admin     Category: ceilidhs

The Chestico Museum’s 2010 summer ceilidh series got off to a rousing start on July 8th! We had a great line up of talent with Dara Smith on fiddle, accompanied by Marcellin Chiasson on guitar and mandolin and Lynn Chisholm on guitar and vocals. This talented group also came together for a few numbers!

We had an appreciative audience on hand that included a lady from Texas and a couple from Pennsylvania. The fiddle had everyone’s toes tapping and most were singing along with the many old favourites Lynn performed so well.

Below  are some photos from the evening. Enjoy!
